Geocache Description:

For this find you need to pull out your trusty compass and give that overworked GPS a much needed break. You may want to keep your GPS handy, however, since it could be helpful in another way while on the trail.

The cache is not listed at the coordinates above! It is merely the starting point of your trek.
You can find adequate parking across the street.

During your trek you will do well to follow the paths of least resistance until the final step.All are magnetic north bearings - no adjustments for declination are required!

Now, onto the hunt!
